I’m terrible at drawing and anything that has to do with art. When I was young, I would draw an animal and my mom commented it looked like any other animal except for what I had set out to draw. Once, I drew something and mum said it looked like a cat, could pass off as a goat, maybe even a dog, and I don’t remember what else. The only thing it couldn’t pass off as was a snake, and that’s only because of the 4 legs attached to that drawing of mine. Mum also never failed to remind me to this day how my drawing of a huge telephone that was placed on a very small table was very amusing to her.
Back then I didn’t think it was funny that I sucked in art. But now I do. Now that I find it hilarious that I’m so terrible in arts, I proudly declare myself the female version of Salvatore Dali…only the eccentrics would appreciate my kind of art. Since I’m so bad in this area, I naturally prayed that Ryan wouldn’t take after me in this. We have yet to find out but I’m guessing that he will be lots better than me.
We’ve started Ryan on putting pencils to paper and he’s quite enjoying scribbling and drawing freely. Yesterday he sat down at his desk and drew pictures with grandma. The grandma who said my one animal looked like everything else except what it should be. The same grandma drew 2 pictures for Ryan today and asked him what he thought they were. Look at these masterpieces…
This was the first picture and it does appear quite obvious that grandma had drawn a cat. But you would notice the word “Bee” in it because Ryan said it’s a bee! Hahahaha…see, it’s not just me who has the “talent” to draw an animal that looks like everything else except what it should be!
Here’s grandma’s second attempt…
This is also quite apparent to the eye…grandma drew a dog, right? But we burst out laughing when Ryan said this was a duck! We asked him 3 times and he answered duck twice and finally said it was a camel. More laughter filled the room.
Now you see where I got my genes from? So please pray for Ryan…that he will NOT draw like his mummy and grandma!
P/S Actually, the grandma’s drawing is much better than mine. Which is why you will never see any of my masterpieces in here, unless you want to laugh till you fall off your chair.

i can still hear laughter fill the room with the 2 ladies clutching their bellies. the joys of having little ones
Hey grandma’s drawing is not bad la..
SF, those are moments that will forever be cherished and talked about
Amy, I agree, it’s really not that bad but I dunno why Ryan doesn’t seem to recognise what were drawn! Haha.
